Retrieving Numbers files

I have used Dropbox for several years but, as of this morning, I receive a “deleted by another account” message when accessing Numbers files on my iPad and I get logged out of Dropbox. 

Anyone know of this problem? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Numbers and Dropbox.

  • Hi Everyone,

     

    Our engineers implemented a fix for this issue, so it should be resolved! Please let us know if that's not the case.

     

    Regards,

    Hi, Jim

     

    Same issue here. Removed Dropbox, Files and Numbers. Do you use AppleID to login to Dropbox. Oddly I have a second dropbox on another iPhone and no issues. 

     

    Do other file types (jpg, PDF) show same issue or is it limited to umbers only?

      I use a separate password to access Dropbox and always have. Other file types do not seem to be affected which is why I uninstalled and reinstalled Numbers.

        Can you access the files via the Dropbox app itself Jim37 ?
